Electrical Distribution Engineer Jobs in Alabama

Job Description Manager/Head of Electrical Systems - Hyperscale Product Line Background We are launching a repeatable building product for deployment within hyperscale data center environments. The product line begins at approximately $100M in annual revenue and is expected to scale materially over the next several years. Electrical performance, reliability, and cost discipline are central to whether that growth occurs.

Within the Design, Manufacture, Construct (DMC) system, the Platform defines governing rules, technical standards, and system constraints. As Manager of Electrical Systems, you apply those constraints to author, influence, and scale the electrical system for a hyperscale product line. This is not a maintenance role inside a finished structure.

The electrical system, team, and operating rhythm are being built. The objective is to create a repeatable, margin- positive electrical product that improves with each release rather than a sequence of field-driven solutions. This role operates as part of the integrated product operating system.

Electrical scope and performance decisions are made in concert with Product, Platform, Practice Groups, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, Program Leadership, and Construction. Accountability for electrical outcomes exists within this broader governance structure, not separate from it. Role You will carry direct accountability for the electrical DMC scope within the product line, with success measured in system performance, margin performance, and predictable deployment outcomes.

This role requires a builder. You will construct and mature the electrical operating system for the product line, including system architecture influence, manufacturing integration, field deployment discipline, and structured performance feedback loops. You are responsible for moving complexity out of the field and into controlled design and production environments where it can be reduced and standardized.

You will build and lead a dedicated electrical team consisting of an Electrical Project Manager, Electrical Designer, Electrical Manufacturing SME, and Electrical Construction Lead. These individuals report to you for the product. You are accountable not only for alignment, but for building a high-performance team capable of scaling with the product as revenue expands.

During product definition, you will influence electrical distribution strategy, panelization approach, grounding systems, lighting and controls integration, and mission-critical interfaces. Detailed program-level design is executed by the design team within the broader product organization; this role ensures those designs align with manufacturability, repeatability, cost discipline, and field performance objectives. In partnership with Program leadership, Platform governance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing Engineering, Practice Groups, and Construction, you will influence component standardization, sourcing strategy, cost structure, and deployment methods.

Electrical scope must integrate cleanly into takt-based manufacturing with minimal field rework. As deployments begin, you will ensure alignment between product intent and field execution. Early releases will require hands-on leadership.

Performance data from those deployments must be converted into disciplined product revisions. Over time, success is measured by decreasing variability, increasing margin, and the electrical system becoming a competitive advantage of the product line. This role is upstream and product-oriented.

Rather than managing a slice of a single hyperscale project, you are defining and scaling an electrical system that will be manufactured and deployed repeatedly into mission-critical environments. The position is structured as a progression path toward enterprise-level electrical systems leadership responsibility as the hyperscale portfolio scales. The role is based in Birmingham, Alabama, with approximately 55-65% on-site presence and travel to active job sites as required.

Qualifications A traditional Electrical Engineering degree is not required. This role may be filled by a licensed Professional Engineer (PE), Master Electrician, or senior field leader with deep mission-critical experience. What matters is demonstrated ownership of complex electrical systems from design through deployment.

Candidates must demonstrate: 12+ years in commercial, industrial, or mission-critical electrical systems Direct accountability for electrical cost performance, margin ownership, or large- scale budget control Leadership across design, manufacturing integration, and field execution Strong working knowledge of NEC, NFPA, grounding and bonding requirements, and power distribution systems Experience with switchgear, generators, UPS systems, utility coordination, and mission-critical redundancy architectures Ability to interpret and evaluate electrical design documents, specifications, and one-line diagrams Experience integrating commissioning considerations into design and deployment Data center or other high-reliability experience is preferred. Exposure to prefabrication or repeatable product environments is valuable. The ideal candidate combines technical depth, commercial judgment, and the ability to build and lead an integrated team in a high-accountability environment.

Compensation and Incentive Structure This is a senior, product-level leadership role with direct accountability for electrical system performance within a hyperscale product line. Compensation is structured to compete with mission-critical electrical leadership roles in today's market. The package includes a strong base salary and a meaningful annual performance bonus tied directly to measurable product outcomes, including electrical margin performance, cost reduction through standardization, and successful deployment execution.

Because this role owns the electrical system across its lifecycle, compensation scales with impact. As variability decreases, manufacturability improves, and product performance strengthens, financial upside increases accordingly. Long-term incentive participation is available for leaders who deliver sustained product performance and team development.

This role is structured for individuals who want to build a system, not manage tasks, and who expect their compensation to reflect the value they create. Exceptional performance will be rewarded accordingly. Employment Classification This is a full-time, exempt position.
